Dawn HH Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Micha:-) I would never refer or imply that anyone here is an intolerant idiot. That's not my style. If you go for that style of boot, you have my deepest blessing. If it appears that I have slighted you in some way, it was not intentional on my part. Please accept my humble apology. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
BobHH Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I still like UGGs, but in the right environment. Sounds like Target is a target of opportunity for introducing a little high heeled fashion among the customers. That ought to open a few eyes.
JeffB Posted November 19, 2005 Author Posted November 19, 2005 More observations from today's outing. There was a pleasant multitude of women in long, often snug jeans and heeled boots, predominantly in black, though I did see a couple of brown pairs here and there. Also saw a pair in black suede, and they looked pretty cool. On the flipside, I saw more than a few pairs of Ugg (as in "UGH!") boots, including a pair in light purple. In a word, YUCK!! Even worse, the temperature today was no better than 45 and yet, damned if I didn't see some emptyheaded girl wearing flip-flops!! Oy vey! Clearly, she didn't take her common sense pills before leaving her house this morning! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Danielinheels Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 or maybe she's one of those types who'll kick snow in her flip-flops. you have people that are truly faithful to them... don't know why, but hey! Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde
heelsRus Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 or maybe she's one of those types who'll kick snow in her flip-flops. you have people that are truly faithful to them... don't know why, but hey! I think that's probably an easy one: laziness. Can't be bothered to put their feet into anything they have to think about. Just easier to slide them on leave the house. Oh well. The scary part is there is a market for Uggs and flip flops. I don't understand why but that's not the first thing nor the last thing I won't understand :-)

Just easier to slide them on leave the house. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that was the reason. Me? I just can't see wearing those dopey things when it's really cold out. Though I'm sure some hopeless ditz will do just that! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Danielinheels Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 hahaha Jeff, it was like 27 degrees on Wednesday, and I saw no fewer than three pairs of flip-flops outside. I thought to myself, "Do these girls like to not feel their toes, or what?" Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde
sscotty727 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Just got back from church. Wore my wedge boots. I saw a few women in nice heels, most were either in 2" or lower though with alot in tennis shoes. One woman came in wearing ragged jeans with flip flops. I did see one lady there with VERY nice wedge pumps. Almost like these except they were all black. Scotty
JeffB Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 I did see one lady there with VERY nice wedge pumps. Almost like these except they were all black. Scotty Most interesting. You don't see much in the way of wedges these days. I guess that style is too 70's to be of interest. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
sscotty727 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Jeff, Was thinking of you. I think they would look great on you if you could find them in your size. Give you something different to wear. Scotty
lorriette Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 simply be do a diva wedge up to 9uk E fit, 90cm heel around £25. totter along into history
sscotty727 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Can you post a picture of one? Would like to see what it looks like. Maybe I could persuade my wife to let me wear a pair of them for "dates" with just the two of us. Scotty
JeffB Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 Jeff, Was thinking of you. I think they would look great on you if you could find them in your size. Give you something different to wear. Scotty I'll admit it is an interesting style. Definite retro chic to say the very least. And yeah, it would certainly be different! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
sscotty727 Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 The woman wearing them had on either nude stockings or bare feet and black pants. She looked great in them. DEFINATELY caught my eye. Scotty
Dawn HH Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Have seen a couple of wedges lately-not in a pump-but in a suede boot. I prefer leather in a boot over suede and I tend to stay away from suede in a pump also. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!

sscotty727 Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 I think I would even sneak out in them from time to time as well. I am going to have to try to find a pair. Scotty
HeelD Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 I have a similar pair... Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005
Dawn HH Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Sscotty727:-) Good luck in finding a pair of wedge pumps in your size. Let us know when you do. Heel-D:-) A very nice looking pair of Mary-Jane wedge pumps. I like them in black. Have you street-heeled in them yet? Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
JeffB Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 Saturday was less than an enjoyable day spent observing women and their footwear at the mall. It was practically all Ugg all of the time. Must've seen three dozen pairs during my outing, including a pair in what I call "Laker purple" in that they were the same shade as the road uniforms of the L.A. Lakers. UGH! Also saw them in black, tan, white, brown and petal pink. The bloody things were all over the place! Double UGH! And, on top of that, there's still emptyheaded girls roaming around in flip-flops, and it was no better than 35 that day! Unbelievable! :x I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
ShockQueen Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Those are way-cute mary-jane wedge pumps! If they were in my size, I'd have to snap up a pair! SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!

Dawn HH Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 JeffB:-) Shafted:-) I can understand exactly where you two are coming from. I made a remark to Mickey the other day after still seeing flipflops and open-toed sandals dispite the fact it has been very cold with low wind chills here where we live. These girls have got to be "nuts", either that or they don't care what happens to their extremities. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
BobHH Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 The news tonight said it was snowing in D.C., so you will probably see even more Uggs around. Not as many flip-flops, I bet.
JeffB Posted December 6, 2005 Author Posted December 6, 2005 The news tonight said it was snowing in D.C., so you will probably see even more Uggs around. Well, thanks plenty for cheering me up, dude! Think I'll go back to bed. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
sscotty727 Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Actually we didn't get as much snow as they predicted. I work in Reston, VA. I am wearing the shoes in my avatar. I did see one woman walking from the garage (non-attached) wearing pumps. Brave/dedicated lady:)
MrStiletto Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Working a gazillion hours due to the holiday shopping I haven't had the chance to see what has been going on here, so please excuse the tardiness of this post. Going back to the ugliest fashion of them all ... ugg boots! I got a company memo to put them in the front of the store and high light them. I did as requested and sold none of them. I have sold out twice now the skecher leather boot with the 4 inch heel. As Jeff said its nice to see. Heel-D I love those wedge heels where did you get them.
sscotty727 Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 One of the benefits of working for a very large company is alot of women here wear heels during the workday. I normally bring my lunch, but I should start making an excuse to go to the cafeteria during lunch because when I do go down there, I am graced with alot of very nice heels and boots. Scotty
HeelD Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks for the comments on my MJs. Great aren't they. Heel-D I love those wedge heels where did you get them.They're from New Look in the UK. They're made from "Other Materials". They're comfortable to walk in but as New Look shoes are generously sized they are a little big for me thus my heel slips out of the back of the shoe. I need to wear insoles and pads for my heels. The pads you can just about make out in the picture are rubbish and I need to look for another set of pads and better insoles as I really want to wear these out a bit. A size down would probably be too small for me. BTW - I have street heeled in them but I couldn't stop my heel from slipping so the adventure didn't last long unfortunately. Hopefully I'll be able to sort this out. Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005
